Sing All Kinds

Memphis Music is EVERYWHERE!!!

On a recent trip to San Francisco, I sat down for breakfast at the justifiably heralded Boulette's Larder. The place is the jernt when it comes to breakfast: crazy view of the Bay Bridge and food on the highest order. I was the first person in the door. If you don't know already, you should wear a goddamn Stax hat everywhere you go. Everywhere. Here's why:

Later that day, a Flyer colleague and I took a cab to the Flower Conservatory. On the way, the cabbie was listening to a wicked soul station. Carla Thomas came on the radio. I mentioned that we were from Memphis, and the guy lit up like a Chicks Stadium fireworks display. He CARED about Carla. Our music is a precious export and something for which I will always have unlimited pride.
